Counter Pressure Canning Line
COUNTER PRESSURE FILLER + SEAMER
The industry-standard for inline counterpressure filling.
The CODI CCL-45 is an inline counterpressure can filler and seamer that runs up to 50 CPM, supports carbonation to 4.0+ volumes, and fills non-alcoholic or warmer beverages that atmospheric fillers cannot handle. We build our fillers from robust 304 stainless steel rather than plastic or aluminum, ensuring they can be effectively cleaned with caustic CIP solutions. Available in 3 or 6 head versions, it integrates seamlessly downstream of our can depalletizers and upstream of our tunnel pasteurizers. Contact us to determine if it’s right for your operation.

PRODUCT FEATURES
Clean-in-Place (CIP)
Fully CIP-capable with closed-loop recirculation, high-temperature rated components, and PLC-controlled cycles for thorough, repeatable sanitation between runs.
Counterpressure Filling
Isobaric filling seals and purges each can with CO₂ before filling under pressure, protecting carbonation and enabling consistent fills across a wider range of temperatures and carbonation levels up to 4.0vols.
Cam-Driven Seaming
Mechanical seaming synchronized with the feed screw delivers a consistent, reliable seal every cycle with minimal variability and straightforward troubleshooting.
Centralized HMI Control
A single control point manages purge cycles, tank pressure, fill rate, settle time, and snift cycles, with audible and visual alerts if anything falls out of spec.

FAQ
What carbonation and product temperature can the CCL-45 handle?
Carbonation from still to 4.0+ volumes CO2, which is 0 to 8 g/L, at product temperatures from 28 to 52 degrees F. That upper temperature range is one of the areas where counter pressure separates from atmospheric filling. An atmospheric filler foams out as incoming product warms, while a pressure-balanced fill holds carbonation in solution. See how counter pressure filling works for the full explanation.
What is the difference between the 3 head and 6 head configurations?
The 6 head reaches up to 50 CPM under ideal conditions and the 3 head up to 35 CPM. Both share the same 84 by 34 by 70 inch footprint, the same controls, and the same fill logic, so the decision is throughput rather than capability. Head count is specified at order.
Can the CCL-45 be cleaned in place?
Yes. The machine is built from 304 stainless steel rather than plastic or aluminum specifically so it tolerates caustic CIP solutions, and bi-directional CIP is available as an option. Plastic and aluminum fillers limit what chemistry can be run through them, which limits what can actually be cleaned.
Where does the CCL-45 sit in the packaging line?
Downstream of a depalletizer and container cleaning, upstream of packaging or pasteurization. A typical configuration runs depalletizer to rinser to CCL-45, then into a tunnel pasteurizer or straight through to labeling and pack out.
